"Carrie" is back, and the billboards all over town give notice that she's out to instill fear in us. But with all the ways to see movies these days, and all the many franchises of hit horrors, there's plenty of cinematic fear to go around.

Killing teenagers: "Scream," and its ancestors and offspring (starting in 1996), movie creep Jason Voorhees of "Friday the 13th" fame, or the nine films in the Freddy Krueger empire of "A Nightmare on Elm Street."

The supernatural: "Carrie," the new one or the 1976 classic starring Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie, or the mock doc "The Blair Witch Project" (1999).
